SION AND A BRASS BAND
' FOR KEEPS. '
. Tomorrow will be the most inter
esting and exciting game of ball
played here or In the league thus
far during 'the season. Elgin meets
enterprise for keaps. Elgin now la
the top-notcher and Enterprise! Is
the close second In the standing of
the clubs. To keep Elgin from too
strong a lead, Enterprise will battle
to a finish to defeat th top-notch-ers
tomorrow.
Band Is Coming.
Elgin ' never does anything. ' by
halves. She goes In full tilt and
stays there until she makes! a stir at
:eat. It will be so tomorrow, when
3he will come down with an excur
sion headed by a brass band and fol
lowed by as husky a lot' of fans as
ver came over the pike. ,They are
the' right sort of fans, too orderly,
gentlemanly, bringing their wives,
mothers and sisters with them for
a season of legitimate pastime where
ribaldry is not heard and Is not
tolerated.
. But Enterprise will not be a whit
behind her friendly rival. Practic
ally everybody here and around here
will be at the game to welcome El
gin, and to hope for the victory of
Enterprise over Elgin in the game.
Enterprise stoutly maintains that
she will make Elgin play the ball
of her life and take defeat. Elgin
Just 'as stoutly says that she will do
the same thing to -Enterprise. And
whoop! That's the ,way the "furse"
began.
The game will be called at 3
o'clock sharp.' No disorderly conduct
will be tolerated by Manager! Bilr
yeu,. and none is at all anticipated.
The ladles of Elgin and Enterprise
and ' the surrounding country jWill
be able to witness a splendid game
without hearing a disorderly sound.

Description of
Land Released
203,635 Acres Thrown Open, From
Former WaMqwa National
' Forest
The president has igned a procla
mation eliminating 203,635 acres from
the National Forest, Oregon. The
elimination is- the result of a careful
examination made by the U. 8. De
partment of Agriculture during the
past summer, which disclosed the
fact that the areas now eliminated
Were either open grass- land with
verv little timber or timbered areas
so largely flienatei- that farther
administration by the Forest Ser
vice wasi considered Impracticable.
The lands released are not needed
for watershed protection, and .. are
not considered to be chiefly, valuable
for National Forest purposes.
The principal eliminations occur
In T. 1 and 2 S., R. 47 E., T. land
2 N., R. 45, 46, 47 arid 48 E., T. 3
N., R. 42 E., T. 4 N., R. 42 and! 43
E., T. 5 and 6 N., R. 46 E., and T.
6 N., R. 47 E. In addition, a atrip
from one-half to three miles wide is
ellminatad along the southern bound-
ary of the Forest, in R. 42 to 47 E.
Section and the west half of Sec
tion 6, T. 4 N., R. 42 E, la trans
ferred from the Wallowa to the We
nalia Forest, the area halng been
Isolated from the' . Wallowa by the
large eliminations, .,.-'
- The unappropriated portions of Jthe-4
areas eliminated by this proclama
tion will be restored to settlement

tised in the local papers- by thei Sec

WALLOWA
COUNTY SHEEP
TWO BIG TRAINLOADS SOLD BY
LOCAL MEN TO MONTANA
BUYERS.
Yesterday began.- the shipment of
forty-three cars of Wallowa county
sheep. -Two hundred sheep to the
deck and each car a doubledeck ag
gregates 18,400 head of sheep In the
two tralnloado. It is estimated that
400 sheep to) the car went, out, but It
Is hardly likely that the number for
the entire two-tralnloads would aver
age that. At a conservative estimate,
however, the number musj. have been
at least 16,000 head.
The ahipmenta went to Wyoming,
6 a ranch point Juot vet of Chey
enne where they will be put on the
range. Irving Dill and Walter Sheets
accompanied the first tralnload, in
the employ or the Montana capi
ta which made the purchase. Ivan
Jackson accompanied the second
tralnload. Those from Enterprise
who, among others, outside, sold
she p were Lltch and Funk, Dobbin
B'alconer, Graves and Raesdale.
The Montana capital- purchasing
this lot of sheep, according to re
port, has purchased in the past nine
months 600,000 head the Wallowa
county bunch completing that num
ber. Eight thousand head vere trail
ed out of here, making, at a conser
vative estimate 24,000 head of Wal
owa county sheep that changed
hands Thursday and Friday. The
two tralnloads from here were ship
ped to Rock River, Wyoming. It is
telieved that they will be trailed
tromi there intoi Montana,' when range
in that state has been secured for
the total bunch.
POSTMASTER WEATHERS
GET8 INCREASED SALARY.

Postmaster Ben Weathers was
treated to a happy surprise by Uncle
Sam the other day, when uncle
Sam kindly informed him that, be
ginning with July 1, the postmaster's
a
a
a
Cor.
con
on
. . n
a
. . a
fdi a
r a
salary at Enterprise would be $1500
Instead of 1400 a year an -increase
o' $100 annually. This increase Is
a reason for just pride on the part
of everybody here. In that It is based
on the increase in" the Enterprise
mail. The mall volume, It may be
safe to say, has increased fully 20
pf.r cent within the past year. All
Mr. Weathers' friends will rejoice
with him' both in the Increase of sal
avy and over the. fact that we are
growing so rapidly into a city.
Joseph sjcured an increase this
year also, making the postmaster's
salary there from now on $1400 in
stead of $1200 a year. Wallowa also
secured an inciease of $100, making
the salary of that office $1S00 Instead-
of J 1200.
